KALMAR DCE70-32 E4 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Kalmar DCE70-32 E4 is a heavy-duty forklift designed for robust industrial applications requiring high load capacities and reliable performance. It has an overall width of 9.6 feet and a wheelbase of 11.5 feet, providing a stable footprint for maneuvering heavy loads. The forklift features a load capacity of 15,432 pounds, making it suitable for demanding lifting tasks in sectors such as metal, forestry, and container handling. Its operating weight is substantial at 52,911 pounds, which enhances stability and traction during operation. The DCE70-32 E4 utilizes a pneumatic tire system with 2 front and 2 rear wheels, offering good traction and durability on various surfaces. It is equipped with a sturdy mast design that includes hydraulic control for forward and backward tilting, supported by tilting cylinders with back-pressure valves to prevent forward mast tilting under load. The mast also incorporates inner support wheels to carry axial forces and sliding plastic plates for side force support, contributing to durability and safety during lifting operations. This forklift is powered by a six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine optimized for smooth and efficient power delivery at low speeds, combined with a three-speed gearbox and torque converter for enhanced drivability. The drive axle features hub reductions, an oil-cooled hydraulic brake system, and a pendulum-mounted steered axle with a double-acting steering cylinder, ensuring strength and mobility on uneven terrain. Operator comfort and safety are enhanced by vibration isolation, sound insulation, adjustable seating, and excellent all-around visibility from the cab. The hydraulic system is high performance and reliable, often charged by multiple pumps to handle demanding workloads. This model is engineered to meet stringent industrial requirements, balancing power, efficiency, and operator usability.
